The Salvation Army Citadel, Castlegate, Aberdeen, Scotland
The design of Aberdeen Citadel is loosely based on that of Balmoral Castle and is a famous landmark in the city. It sits on the site of Aberdeen Castle, which had been pulled apart by citizens during a conflict in 1308. History reports that the citizens put the stones of the castle to 'holy use' and built a chapel there instead. A place of Christian worship has stood on the spot ever since, culminating with the citadel being built by The Salvation Army in 1896.
